Substituted quinazoline derivatives and their use as inhibitors

ABSTRACT

The use of a compound of formula (I) or a salt, ester or amide thereof; where X is O, or S, S(O) or S(O) 2 , or NR 6  where R 6  is hydrogen or C 1-6 alkyl; R 5  is an optionally substituted 5-membered heteroaromatic ring, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4  are independently selected from various specified moieties, in the preparation of a medicament for use in the inhibition of aurora 2 kinase. Certain compounds are novel and these, together with pharmaceutical compositions containing them are also described and claimed.

The present invention relates to certain quinazoline derivatives for use in the treatment of certain diseases in particular to proliferative disease such as cancer and in the preparation of medicaments for use in the treatment of proliferative disease, to novel quinazoline compounds and to processes for their preparation, as well as pharmaceutical compositions containing them as active ingredient.

Cancer (and other hyperproliferative disease) is characterised by uncontrolled cellular proliferation. This loss of the normal regulation of cell proliferation often appears to occur as the result of genetic damage to cellular pathways that control progress through the cell cycle.

In eukaryotes, the cell cycle is largely controlled by an ordered cascade of protein phosphorylation. Several families of protein kinases that play critical roles in this cascade have now been identified. The activity of many of these kinases is increased in human tumours when compared to normal tissue. This can occur by either increased levels of expression of the protein (as a result of gene amplification for example), or by changes in expression of co activators or inhibitory proteins.

The first identified, and most widely studied of these cell cycle regulators have been the cyclin dependent kinases (or CDKs). Activity of specific CDKs at specific times is essential for both initiation and coordinated progress through the cell cycle For example, the CDK4 protein appears to control entry into the cell cycle (the G0-G1-S transition) by phosphorylating the retinoblastoma gene product pRb. This stimulates the release of the transcription factor E2F from pRb, which then acts to increase the transcription of genes necessary for entry into S phase. The catalytic activity of CDK4 is stimulated by binding to a partner protein, Cyclin D. One of the first demonstrations of a direct link between cancer and the cell cycle was made with the observation that the Cyclin D1 gene was amplified and cyclin D protein levels increased (and hence the activity of CDK4 increased) in many human tumours (Reviewed in Sherr, 1996, Science 274: 1672-1677; Pines, 1995, Seminars in Cancer Biology 6: 63-72). Other studies (Loda et al., 1997, Nature Medicine 3(2): 231-234; Gemma et al., 1996, International Journal of Cancer 68(5): 605-11; Elledge et al. 1996, Trends in Cell Biology 6; 388-392) have shown that negative regulators of CDK function are frequently down regulated or deleted in human tumours again leading to inappropriate activation of these kinases.

More recently, protein kinases that are structurally distinct from the CDK family have been identified which play critical roles in regulating the cell cycle and which also appear to be important in oncogenesis. These include the newly identified human homologues of the Drosophila aurora and S. cerevisiae Ip11 proteins. Drosophila aurora and S. cerevisiae Ip11, which are highly homologous at the amino acid sequence level, encode serine/threonine protein kinases. Both aurora and Ip11 are known to be involved in controlling the transition from the G2 phase of the cell cycle through mitosis, centrosome function, formation of a mitotic spindle and proper chromosome separation/segregation into daughter cells. The two human homologues of these genes, termed aurora 1 and aurora 2, encode cell cycle regulated protein kinases. These show a peak of expression and kinase activity at the G2/M boundary (aurora 2) and in mitosis itself (aurora1). Several observations implicate the involvement of human aurora proteins , and particularly aurora 2 in cancer. The aurora 2 gene maps to chromosome 20q13, a region that is frequently amplified in human tumours including both breast and colon tumours. Aurora 2 may be the major target gene of this amplicon, since aurora 2 DNA is amplified and aurora 2 mRNA overexpressed in greater than 50% of primary human colorectal cancers. In these tumours aurora 2 protein levels appear greatly elevated compared to adjacent normal tissue. In addition, transfection of rodent fibroblasts with human aurora 2 leads to transformation, conferring the ability to grow in soft agar and form tumours in nude mice (Bischoff et al., 1998, The EMBO Journal. 17(11): 3052-3065). Other work (Zhou et al., 1998, Nature Genetics. 20(2): 189-93) has shown that artificial overexpression of aurora 2 leads to an increase in centrosome number and an increase in aneuploidy.

Importantly, it has also been demonstrated that abrogation of aurora 2 expression and function by antisense oligonucleotide treatment of human tumour cell lines. (WO 97/22702 and WO 99/37788) leads to cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase of the cell cycle and exerts an antiproliferative effect in these tumour cell lines. This indicates that inhibition of the function of aurora 2 will have an antiproliferative effect that may be useful in the treatment of human tumours and other hyperproliferative diseases.

A number of quinazoline derivatives have been proposed hitherto for use in the inhibition of various kinases. Examples of such proposals are included in WO 92/20642 and EP-B-584222 which relates to bicyclic compounds which inhibit epidermal growth factor (EGF) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor tyrosine kinase, WO 95/15758 which describes the use of bis ring systems for the selective inhibition of CSF-1R tyrosine kinase activity, and WO 99/09016, WO 97/03069 and U.S. Pat. No. 570,158 which describe the use of certain quinazoline compounds as tyrosine kinase inhibitors in other contexts.

The applicants have found a series of compounds which inhibit the effect of the aurora 2 kinase and which are thus of use in the treatment of proliferative disease such as cancer, in particular in such diseases such as colorectal or breast cancer where aurora 2 kinase is known to be active.

The present invention provides the use of a compound of formula (I)

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) include acid addition salts such as methanesulfonate, fumarate, hydrochloride, hydrobromide, citrate, maleate and salts formed with phosphoric and sulphuric acid. There may be more than one cation or anion depending on the number of charged functions and the valency of the cations or anions. Where the compound of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) includes an acid functionality, salts may be base salts such as an alkali metal salt for example sodium, an alkaline earth metal salt for example calcium or magnesium, an organic amine salt for example triethylamine, morpholine, N-methylpiperidine, N-ethylpiperidine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N,N-dibenzylethylamine or amino acids for example lysine. A preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a sodium salt.

An in vivo hydrolysable ester of a compound of the Formula (I) or Formula (IA) containing carboxy or hydroxy group is, for example, a pharmaceutically acceptable ester which is hydrolysed in the human or animal body to produce the parent acid or alcohol.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable esters for carboxy include C₁₋₆alkyl esters such as methyl or ethyl esters, C₁₋₆alkoxymethyl esters for example methoxymethyl, C₁₋₆alkanoyloxymethyl esters for example pivaloyloxymethyl, phthalidyl esters, C₃₋₈cycloalkoxy-carbonyloxyC₁₋₆alkyl esters for example 1-cyclohexylcarbonyloxyethyl; 1,3-dioxolen-2-onylmethyl esters for example 5-methyl-1,3-dioxolen-2-onylmethyl; and C₁₋₆alkoxycarbonyloxyethyl esters for example 1-methoxycarbonyloxyethyl and may be formed at any carboxy group in the compounds of this invention.

An in vivo hydrolysable ester of a compound of the Formula (I) or Formula (IA) containing a hydroxy group includes inorganic esters such as phosphate esters and α-acyloxyalkyl ethers and related compounds which as a result of the in vivo hydrolysis of the ester breakdown to give the parent hydroxy group. Examples of α-acyloxyalkyl ethers include acetoxymethoxy and 2,2-dimethylpropionyloxymethoxy. A selection of in vivo hydrolysable ester forming groups for hydroxy include alkanoyl, benzoyl, phenylacetyl and substituted benzoyl and phenylacetyl, alkoxycarbonyl (to give alkyl carbonate esters), dialkylcarbamoyl and N-(dialkylaminoethyl)-N-alkylcarbamoyl (to give carbamates), dialkylaminoacetyl and carboxyacetyl.

Suitable amides are derived from compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) which have a carboxy group which is derivatised into an amide such as a N—C₁₋₆alkyl and N,N—di-(C₁₋₆alkyl)amide such as N-methyl, N-ethyl, N-propyl, N,N-dimethyl, N-ethyl-N-methyl or N,N-diethylamide.

Preferred compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) are those that are stable in mouse, rat, or human serum, preferably those that are stable in human serum.

Esters which are not in vivo hydrolysable may be useful as intermediates in the production of the compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA).

Other compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA), in particular those in which R⁵ carriers a carboxy or carboxyl ester substituent are described below in the Examples.

Compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) may be prepared by various methods which would be apparent from the literature. For example compounds of formula (I) where X is NH may be prepared by reacting a compound of formula (VII)

where R¹, R², R³, and R⁴ are as defined in relation to formula (I) and R⁸⁵ is a group NR⁸⁶R⁸⁷ where R⁸⁶ and R⁸⁷ are independently selected from alkyl such as methyl, with a compound of formula (VIII) H₂N—R⁵′  (VIII) where R⁵′ is a group R⁵ as defined in relation to formula (I) or a precursor group thereof; and thereafter if desired or necessary, converting a precursor group R⁵′ to a group R⁵ and/or modifying substituents on the group R⁵. The reaction is suitably effected in an organic solvent such as an acetic acid at elevated temperatures, conveniently at the reflux temperature of the solvent.

Examples of reactions in which a precursor group R⁵′ is converted to a group R⁵ and/or substituents on the group R⁵ are modified are standard chemical reactions, such as conversion of esters to acids, and thereafter, if required to the preferred amides. Examples of is such reactions are provided hereinafter.

Compounds of formula (VII) are suitably prepared by reacting a compound of formula (IX)

with an appropriate acetal such as N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal. The reaction is suitably effected in an organic solvent such as benzene, at elevated temperature, conveniently at the reflux temperature of the solvent.

Alternatively, compounds of formula (I) where X is NH may be prepared by rearranging a compound of formula (X)

where R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as defined in relation to formula (I) and R⁵′ is as defined in relation to formula (VIII) above, and thereafter if desired or necessary, converting a precursor group R⁵′ to a group R⁵ and/or modifying substituents on the group R⁵, for example as described generally above.

The rearrangement reaction is suitably effected in an organic solvent such as an alkyl alcohol, in particular methanol, ethanol or cyclohexanol, acetic acid, or dimethylformamide, using a strong base such as sodium hydroxide, sodium acetate, sodium methylate, or dimethylamine. Elevated temperatures, for example of from 20°-120° C. and preferably at about 75° C. are employed.

Compounds of formula (X) are suitably obtained by reacting a compound of formula (XI)

where R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as defined in relation to formula (I) and R⁸⁶ is an alkyl group such as methyl; with a compound of formula (XII) H₂N—R⁵′  (XII) where R⁵′ is as defined in relation to formula (VIII). The reaction is suitably effected in an organic solvent such as methylene chloride, in the presence of a salt such as pyridinium hydrochloride. Moderate temperatures for example of from 0°-50° C. and conveniently ambient temperature are employed.

Compounds of formula (XI) are suitably prepared by reacting a compound of formula (IX) as defined above, with a trialkylorthoformate such as trimethylorthoformate. The reaction is suitably effected at elevated temperature, for example of from 50° C. to 120° C., and preferably at about 100° C., in the presence of a catalytic amount of an acid such as p-toluene sulphonic acid.

Compounds of formula (IX) are either known compounds or they can be prepared by conventional methods. In particular, compounds of formula (IX) may be prepared by reduction of the corresponding nitro compound of formula (XIII)

where R¹, R², R³ and R⁴ are as defined in relation to formula (I). Suitable reaction conditions are illustrated hereinafter.

Compounds of formula (XIII) may be obtained by nitration of a compound of formula (XIV)

for example, using nitric acid as the nitrating agent. Again, suitable reaction conditions are illustrated hereinafter.

The nitrile of formula (XIV) may be derived by reaction of the corresponding formamide with hydroxylamine as illustrated hereinafter.

Compounds of Formula (I) and Formula (IA) are inhibitors of aurora 2 kinase. As a result, these compounds can be used to treat disease mediated by these agents, in particular proliferative disease.

According to a further aspect of the present invention there is provided a method for inhibiting aurora 2 kinase in a warm blooded animal, such as man, in need of such treatment, which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (IA), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or an in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof.

Certain compounds of formula (I) are novel and these form a further aspect of the invention. Thus the invention further comprises a compound of formula (IA)

or a salt, ester or amide thereof,

-   where X is as defined in relation to formula (I); -   R¹′, R²′, R³′, R⁴′ are equivalent to R¹, R², R³, R⁴ as defined in     relation to formula (I) and R^(5a) is an optionally substituted     5-membered heteroaromatic ring, subject to the following provisos: -   (i) that where R^(5a) is a pyrazole group, it carries a substituting     of formula (k), (II) of (VI) above, -   (ii) that where X is NH and R^(5a) is a substituted pyrazolone or     tetrazolyl group, at least one of R¹′, R²′, R³′ and R⁴′ is other     than hydrogen; or -   (iii) that where X is O and R^(5a) is     1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazol-5-yl, at least one of R¹′, R²′, R³′ and     R⁴′ is other than hydrogen.

Preferably at least one of R¹′, R²′, R³′ and R⁴′ is other than hydrogen.

Suitably R^(5a) is selected from the groups of sub-formulae (a)-(j) as set out above.

Preferably R^(5a) is pyrrole, imidazole, triazole, thiazole, thiophene, or thiadiazole, any of which may be optionally substituted.

In particular, R^(5a) is substituted by at least one group of formula (k), (II) of (VI) above.

Other preferred or particular groups and substituents in formula (IA) are as set out for the equivalent groups in formula (I) above.

According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a compound of the formula (IA) as defined herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or an in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, for use in a method of treatment of the human or animal body by therapy. In particular, the compounds are used in methods of treatment of proliferative disease such as cancer and in particular cancers such as colorectal or breast cancer where aurora 2 is upregulated.

The invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition comprising a compound of formula (IA) as defined herein, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, or an in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, in combination with at pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Preferred or particular compounds of formula (IA) for use in the compositions of the invention are as described above in relation to preferred compounds of formula (I).

The compositions of the invention maybe in a form suitable for oral use (for example as tablets, lozenges, hard or soft capsules, aqueous or oily suspensions, emulsions, dispersible powders or granules, syrups or elixirs), for topical use (for example as creams, ointments, gels, or aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions), for administration by inhalation (for example as a finely divided powder or a liquid aerosol), for administration by insufflation (for example as a finely divided powder) or for parenteral administration (for example as a sterile aqueous or oily solution for intravenous, subcutaneous, intramuscular or intramuscular dosing or as a suppository for rectal dosing).

The compositions of the invention maybe obtained by conventional procedures using conventional pharmaceutical excipients, well known in the art. Thus, compositions intended for oral use may contain, for example, one or more colouring, sweetening, flavouring and/or preservative agents.

Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients for a tablet formulation include, for example, inert diluents such as lactose, sodium carbonate, calcium phosphate or calcium carbonate, granulating and disintegrating agents such as corn starch or algenic acid; binding agents such as starch; lubricating agents such as magnesium stearate, stearic acid or talc; preservative agents such as ethyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, and anti-oxidants, such as ascorbic acid. Tablet formulations may be uncoated or coated either to modify their disintegration and the subsequent absorption of the active ingredient within the gastrointestinal track, or to improve their stability and/or appearance, in either case, using conventional coating agents and procedures well known in the art.

Compositions for oral use may be in the form of hard gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with an inert solid diluent, for example, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate or kaolin, or as soft gelatin capsules in which the active ingredient is mixed with water or an oil such as peanut oil, liquid paraffin, or olive oil.

Aqueous suspensions generally contain the active ingredient in finely powdered form together with one or more suspending agents, such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, sodium alginate, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone, gum tragacanth and gum acacia; dispersing or wetting agents such as lecithin or condensation products of an alkylene oxide with fatty acids (for example polyoxyethylene stearate), or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with long chain aliphatic alcohols, for example heptadecaethyleneoxycetanol, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and a hexitol such as polyoxyethylene sorbitol monooleate, or condensation products of ethylene oxide with partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides, for example polyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The aqueous suspensions may also contain one or more preservatives (such as ethyl or propyl p-hydroxybenzoate, anti-oxidants (such as ascorbic acid), colouring agents, flavouring agents, and/or sweetening agents (such as sucrose, saccharine or aspartame).

Oily suspensions may be formulated by suspending the active ingredient in a vegetable oil (such as arachis oil, olive oil, sesame oil or coconut oil) or in a mineral oil (such as liquid paraffin). The oily suspensions may also contain a thickening agent such as beeswax, hard paraffin or cetyl alcohol. Sweetening agents such as those set out above, and flavouring agents may be added to provide a palatable oral preparation. These compositions may be preserved by the addition of an antioxidant such as ascorbic acid.

Dispersible powders and granules suitable for preparation of an aqueous suspension by the addition of water generally contain the active ingredient together with a dispersing or wetting agent, suspending agent and one or more preservatives. Suitable dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents are exemplified by those already mentioned above. Additional excipients such as sweetening, flavouring and colouring agents, may also be present.

The pharmaceutical compositions of the invention may also be in the form of oil-in-water emulsions. The oily phase may be a vegetable oil, such as olive oil or arachis oil, or a mineral oil, such as for example liquid paraffin or a mixture of any of these. Suitable emulsifying agents maybe, for example, naturally-occurring gums such as gum acacia or gum tragacanth, naturally-occurring phosphatides such as soya bean, lecithin, an esters or partial esters derived from fatty acids and hexitol anhydrides (for example sorbitan monooleate) and condensation products of the said partial esters with ethylene oxide such as polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate. The emulsions may also contain sweetening, flavouring and preservative agents.

Syrups and elixirs may be formulated with sweetening agents such as glycerol, propylene glycol, sorbitol, aspartame or sucrose, and may also contain a demulcent, preservative, flavouring and/or colouring agent.

The pharmaceutical compositions may also be in the form of a sterile injectable aqueous or oily suspension, which may be formulated according to known procedures using one or more of the appropriate dispersing or wetting agents and suspending agents, which have been mentioned above. A sterile injectable preparation may also be a sterile injectable solution or suspension in a non-toxic parenterally-acceptable diluent or solvent, for example a solution in 1,3-butanediol.

Suppository formulations may be prepared by mixing the active ingredient with a suitable non-irritating excipient which is solid at ordinary temperatures but liquid at the rectal temperature and will therefore melt in the rectum to release the drug. Suitable excipients include, for example, cocoa butter and polyethylene glycols.

Topical formulations, such as creams, ointments, gels and aqueous or oily solutions or suspensions, may generally be obtained by formulating an active ingredient with a conventional, topically acceptable, vehicle or diluent using conventional procedure well known in the art

Compositions for administration by insufflation may be in the form of a finely divided powder containing particles of average diameter of, for example, 30μ or much less, the powder itself comprising either active ingredient alone or diluted with one or more physiologically acceptable carriers such as lactose. The powder for insufflation is then conveniently retained in a capsule containing, for example, 1 to 50 mg of active ingredient for use with a turbo-inhaler device, such as is used for insufflation of the known agent sodium cromoglycate.

Compositions for administration by inhalation may be in the form of a conventional pressurised aerosol arranged to dispense the active ingredient either as an aerosol containing finely divided solid or liquid droplets. Conventional aerosol propellants such as volatile fluorinated hydrocarbons or hydrocarbons may be used and the aerosol device is conveniently arranged to dispense a metered quantity of active ingredient.

For further information on Formulation the reader is referred to Chapter 25.2 in Volume 5 of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry (Corwin Hansch; Chairman of Editorial Board), Pergamon Press 1990.

The amount of active ingredient that is combined with one or tore excipients to produce a single dosage form will necessarily vary depending upon the host treated and the particular route of administration. For example, a formulation intended for oral administration to humans will generally contain, for example, from 0.5 mg to 2 g of active agent compounded with an appropriate and convenient amount of excipients which may vary from about 5 to about 98 percent by weight of the total composition. Dosage unit forms will generally contain about 1 mg to about 500 mg of an active ingredient. For further information on Routes of Administration and Dosage Regimes the reader is referred to Chapter 25.3 in Volume 5 of Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry (Corwin Hansch; Chairman of Editorial Board), Pergamon Press 1990.

The size of the dose for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes of a compound of the Formula I will naturally vary according to the nature and severity of the conditions, the age and sex of the animal or patient and the route of administration, according to well known principles of medicine. As mentioned above, compounds of the Formula I are useful in treating diseases or medical conditions which are due alone or in part to the effects of aurora 2 kinase.

In using a compound of the Formula I for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes it will generally be administered so that a daily dose in the range, for example, 0.5 mg to 75 mg per kg body weight is received, given if required in divided doses. In general lower doses will be administered when a parenteral route is employed. Thus, for example, for intravenous administration, a dose in the range, for example, 0.5 mg to 30 mg per kg body weight will generally be used. Similarly, for administration by inhalation, a dose in the range, for example, 0.5 mg to 25 mg per kg body weight will be used. Oral administration is however preferred.

A further aspect of the invention comprises a compound of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) as defined above, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or in vivo hydrolysable ester thereof, for use in the preparation of a medicament for the treatment of proliferative disease. Preferred compounds of Formula (I) or Formula (IA) for this purpose are as described above.

Biological Data

The compounds of the invention inhibit the serine/threonine kinase activity of the aurora 2 kinase and thus inhibit the cell cycle and cell proliferation. These properties may be assessed, for example, using one or more of the procedures set out below:

(a) In Vitro Aurora 2 Kinase Inhibition Test

This assay determines the ability of a test compound to inhibit serine/threonine kinase activity. DNA encoding aurora 2 may be obtained by total gene synthesis or by cloning. This DNA may then be expressed in a suitable expression system to obtain polypeptide with serine/threonine kinase activity. In the case of aurora 2, the coding sequence was isolated from cDNA by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and cloned into the BamH1 and Not1 restriction endonuclease sites of the baculovirus expression vector pFastBac HTc (GibcoBRL/Life technologies). The 5′ PCR primer contained a recognition sequence for the restriction endonuclease BamH1 5′ to the aurora 2 coding sequence. This allowed the insertion of the aurora 2 gene in frame with the 6 histidine residues, spacer region and rTEV protease cleavage site encoded by the pFastBac HTc vector. The 3′ PCR primer replaced the aurora 2 stop codon with additional coding sequence followed by a stop codon and a recognition sequence for the restriction endonuclease Not1. This additional coding sequence (5′ TAC CCA TAC GAT GTT CCA GAT TAC GCT TCT TAA 3′) encoded for the polypeptide sequence YPYDVPDYAS. This sequence, derived from the influenza hemagglutin protein, is frequently used as a tag epitope sequence that can be identified using specific monoclonal antibodies. The recombinant pFastBac vector therefore encoded for an N-terminally 6 his tagged, C terminally influenza hemagglutin epitope tagged aurora 2 protein. Details of the methods for the assembly of recombinant DNA molecules can be found in standard texts, for example Sambrook et al. 1989, Molecular Cloning—A Laboratory Manual, 2^(nd) Edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory press and Ausubel et al. 1999, Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, John Wiley and Sons Inc.

Production of recombinant virus can be performed following manufacturer's protocol from GibcoBRL. Briefly, the pFastBac-1 vector carrying the aurora 2 gene was transformed into E. coil DH10Bac cells containing the baculovirus genome (bacmid DNA) and via a transposition event in the cells, a region of the pFastBac vector containing gentamycin resistance gene and the aurora 2 gene including the baculovirus polyhedrin promoter was transposed directly into the bacmid DNA. By selection on gentamycin, kanamycin, tetracycline and X-gal, resultant white colonies should contain recombinant bacmid DNA encoding aurora 2. Bacmid DNA was extracted from a small scale culture of several BH10Bac white colonies and transfected into Spodoptera frugiperda Sf21 cells grown in TC100 medium (GibcoBRL) containing 10% serum using CellFECTIN reagent (GibcoBRL) following manufacturer's instructions. Virus particles were harvested by collecting cell culture medium 72 hrs post transfection. 0.5 mls of medium was used to infect 100 ml suspension culture of Sf21s containing 1×10⁷ cells/ml. Cell culture medium was harvested 48 hrs post infection and virus titre determined using a standard plaque assay procedure. Virus stocks were used to infect Sf9 and “High 5” cells at a multiplicity of infection MOI) of 3 to ascertain expression of recombinant aurora 2 protein. For the large scale expression of aurora 2 kinase activity, Sf21 insect cells were grown at 28° C. in TC100 medium supplemented with 10% foetal calf serum (Viralex) and 0.2% F68 Pluronic (Sigma) on a Wheaton roller rig at 3 r.p.m. When the cell density reached 1.2×10⁶ cells ml⁻¹ they were infected with plaque-pure aurora 2 recombinant virus at a multiplicity of infection of 1 and harvested 48 hours later. All subsequent purification steps were performed at 4° C. Frozen insect cell pellets containing a total of 2.0×10⁸ cells were thawed and diluted with lysis buffer (25 mM HEPES (N-[2-hydroxyethyl]piperazine-N′-[2-ethanesulphonic acid]) pH 7.4 at 4° C., 100 mM KCl, 25 M NaF, 1 mM Na₃VO₄, 1 M PMSF (phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride), 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, 2 mM imidazole, 1 μg/ml aprotinin, 1 μg/ml pepstatin, 1 μg/ml leupeptin), using 1.0 ml per 3×10⁷ cells. Lysis was achieved using a dounce homogeniser, following which the lysate was centrifuged at 41,000 g for 35 minutes. Aspirated supernatant was pumped onto a 5 mm diameter chromatography column containing 500 μl Ni NTA (rutrilo-tri-acetic acid) agarose (Qiagen, product no. 30250) which had been equilibrated in lysis buffer. A baseline level of UV absorbance for the eluent was reached after washing the column with 12 ml of lysis buffer followed by 7 ml of wash buffer (25 mM HEPES pH7.4 at 4° C., 100 mM KCl, 20 mM imidazole, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol). Bound aurora 2 protein was eluted from the column using elution buffer (25 mM HEPES pH7.4 at 4° C., 100 mM KCl, 400 mM imidazole, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol). An elution fraction (2.5 ml) corresponding to the peak in UV absorbance was collected. The elution fraction, containing active aurora 2 kinase, was dialysed exhaustively against dialysis buffer (25 mM HEPES pH7.4 at 4° C., 45% glycerol (v/v), 100 mM KCl, 0.25% Nonidet P40 (v/v), 1 mM dithiothreitol).

Each new batch of aurora 2 enzyme was titrated in the assay by dilution with enzyme diluent (25 mM Tris-HCl pH7.5, 12.5 mM KCl, 0.6mM DTM). For a typical batch, stock enzyme is diluted 1 in 666 with enzyme diluent & 20 μl of dilute enzyme is used for each assay well. Test compounds (at 10 mM in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO)) were diluted with water & 10 μl of diluted compound was transferred to wells in the assay plates. “Total” & “blank” control wells contained 2.5% DMSO instead of compound. Twenty microlitres of freshly diluted enzyme was added to all wells, apart from “blank” wells. Twenty microlitres of enzyme diluent was added to “blank” wells. Twenty microlitres of reaction mix (25 mM Tris-HCl, 78.4 mM KCl, 2.5 mM NaF, 0.6 mM dithiothreitol, 6.25 mM MnCl₂, 6.25 mM ATP, 7.5 μM peptide substrate [biotin-LRRWSLGLRRWSLGLRRWSLGLRRWSLG]) containing 0.2 μCi [γ³³P]ATP (Amersham Pharmacia, specific activity≧2500 Ci/mmol) was then added to all test wells to start the reaction. The plates were incubated at room temperature for 60 minutes. To stop the reaction 100 μl 20% v/v orthophosphoric acid was added to all wells. The peptide substrate was captured on positively-charged nitrocellulose P30 filtermat (Whatman) using a 96-well plate harvester (TomTek) & then assayed for incorporation of ³³P with a Beta plate counter. “Blanks” (no enzyme) and “total” (no compound) control values were used to determine the dilution range of test compound which gave 50% inhibition of enzyme activity. In this test, compound 52 in Table 2 gave 50% inhibition of enzyme activity at a concentration of 0.167 μM, and Compound 253 in Table 21 gave 50% inhibition of enzyme activity at 0.089 μm.

(a) In Vitro Cell Proliferation Assay

This assay determines the ability of a test compound to inhibit the growth of adherent mammalian cell lines, for example the human tumour cell line MCF7. MCF-7 (ATCC HTB-22) or other adherent cells were typically seeded at 1×10³ cells per well (excluding the peripheral wells) in DMEM (Sigma Aldrich) without phenol red, plus 10% foetal calf serum, 1% L-glutamine and 1% penicillin/streptomycin in 96 well tissue culture treated clear plates (Costar). The following day (day 1), the media was removed from a no treatment control plate and the plate stored at −80° C. The remaining plates were dosed with compound (diluted from 10 mM stock in DMSO using DMEM (without phenol red, 10% FCS, 1% L-glutamine, 1% penicillin/streptomycin). Untreated control wells were included on each plate. After 3 days in the presence/absence of compound (day 4) the media was removed and the plates stored at −80° C. Twenty four hours later the plates were thawed at room temperature and cell density determined using the CyQUANT cell proliferation assay kit (c-7026/c-7027 Molecular Probes Inc.) according to manufacturers directions. Briefly, 200 μl of a cell lysis/dye mixture (10 μl of 20× cell lysis buffer B, 190 μl of sterile water, 0.251 μl of CYQUANT GR dye) was added to each well and the plates incubated at room temperature for 5 minutes in the dark. The fluorescence of the wells was then measured using a fluorescence microplate reader (gain 70, 2 reads per well, 1 cycle with excitation 485 nm and emission 530 nm using a CytoFluor plate reader (PerSeptive Biosystems Inc.)). The values from day 1 and day 4 (compound treated) together with the values from the untreated cells were used to determine the dilution range of a test compound that gave 50% inhibition of cell proliferation. Compound 52 in Table 2 was effective in this test at 0.616 μm and Compound 253 in Table 20 was effective at 5.91 μM.

These values could also be used to calculate the dilution range of a test compound at which the cell density dropped below the day 1 control value. This indicates the cytotoxicity of the compound.

(a) In Vitro Cell Cycle Analysis Assay

This assay determines the ability of a test compound to arrest cells in specific phases of the cell cycle. Many different mammalian cell lines could be used in this assay and MCF7 cells are included here as an example. MCF-7 cells were seeded at 3×10⁵ cells per T25 flask (Costar) in 5 ml DMEM (no phenol red 10% FCS, 1% L-glutamine 1% penicillin/streptomycin). Flasks were then incubated overnight in a humidified 37° C. incubator with 5% CO₂. The following day 1 ml of DMEM (no phenol red 10% FCS, 1% L-glutamine 1% penicillin/streptomycin) carrying the appropriate concentration of test compound solubilised in DMSO was added to the flask. A no compound control treatments was also included (0.5% DMSO). The cells were then incubated for a defined time (usually 24 hours) with compound. After this time the media was aspirated from the cells and they were washed with 5 ml of prewarmed (37° C.) sterile PBSA, then detached from the flask by brief incubation with trypsin and followed by resuspension in 10 ml of 1% Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA, Sigma-Aldrich Co.) in sterile PBSA. The samples were then centrifuged at 2200 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was aspirated and the cell pellet was resuspended in 200 μl of 0.1% (w/v) Tris sodium citrate, 0.0564% (w/v) NaCl, 0.03% (v/v) Nonidet NP40, [pH 7.6]. Propridium Iodide (Sigma Aldrich Co.) was added to 40 μg/ml and RNAase A (Sigma Aldrich Co.) to 100 μg/ml. The cells were then incubated at 37° C. for 30 minutes. The samples were centrifuged at 2200 rpm for 10 min, the supernatant removed and the remaining pellet (nuclei) resuspended in 200 μl of sterile PBSA. Each sample was then syringed 10 times using 21 gauge needle. The samples were then transferred to LPS tubes and DNA content per cell analysed by Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) using a FACScan flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson). Typically 25000 events were counted and recorded using CellQuest v1.1 software (Verity Software). Cell cycle distribution of the population was calculated using Modfit software (Verity Software) and expressed as percentage of cells in G0/G1, S and G2/M phases of the cell cycle.

Treating MCF7 cells with 1 μM Compound 52 in Table 2 for 24 hours produced the following changes in cell cycle distribution: Treatment % Cells in G2/M DMSO (control) 9.27% 10 μM Compound 52  >50%
